The Mount Carmel Festival.
The sisters of Mount Carmel Con
vent are rejoicing over the success of
their festival. They were favored
with dry weather, although a little
disagreeable for the dust, but the
friends of the Institution, who live in
the neighboring country had no
difficulty in coming to town. The
citizens of Thibodani and vicinity
showed their appreciation of the good
I work that the sisters of ?'loiot Car
mel are doing for the community and
for the whole parish, by visiting the
fair in large numbers. The excursion
from Lafayette brought a very large
crowd who also contributed liberally
to the success of the festival. The
fair was altogether a grand suceas
bo4 i fl ymisl: tutt
by the nolored population for the
benefit of the convent sett d the one
of 577.560.
The convent fair proved a grand
success and the kind sisters and the
good people who helped them to so
ably manage it deserve the cougratu
lation of the community.
We are informed thlit the debt has
been reduce I to $7,000, the S-ntinel
hopes that the citizens of this parash
and town will coutinue to help the
sisters, whene' er possible, to reduce
the debt until it ahull be entirely
eragell. We hope that the day is not
far distant whey the sisters will hatv*
the joy of seeing their beautiful
building free from all incumbances.

brated on Mon lay wording at 7
o'clock at St. Josepb's Catholic
Church.
Mr. Naquin is well known here.
He is now a resident of Rockport,
Texas but is a native of Loui-tans
and spent his early days in Lafourebe.
He is a brother of our townsman Mr.
Ozewe Naquin, and of Miss lme iWe

The bride, a native of New Orleans,
has resided in Thibo-aiux for a num

Good Roads.
At its last meeting the Police Jury
appropriated $15 t"iw.-r.ls defraying
the exp1nses of the district delegate,
L. H. Lancaster. to thi, Good Roads
Convection which will he held in St.
Louis on April 270h.. 1903. This is
a praiseworthy action on the part of
that body, it is not only a substantial
help but naso a stimulus to thecitizens
to contribute their mite.
Good roads are essential to the
welfare of the parish; of this all the
citizens of Lafourche are aware, for
the condition of our highways during
the past two months his caused tisen
to realize more than ever that unless
greater attention i+ given the roads
they will return to the same condition
that they have b en in th.e past two
months whenever there is it long rainy
spell. The railroad has tixed the
round trip at $18 and a number of
our puilic spirited citizens have
already contributed their share to the
fund, still that is not enough as about
$50 are required for exp-ases, the
testiael hopes that other names wilt
be added to the following list:
Sentinel.................. $2.56
J. T. Moore, Planting Co.... 5.0th
Police Jury............... 15.00
Progressive Union ......... 10.00
Cash............... ...... 5.04b

Next to a man's family and busi.
ness nothing should stand dearer to
r man's heatt than the communtty in
which he lives. It is his home. It
is the place in which he earns his
competence and educates his children.
If he wants to make it as popular, as
thrifty and widely known as possible,
he can not afford to he indiff ,rent to
anything that will further these ends.
It can be said that a town that is not
worthy of the devotion of its citizena
in making it widely and generally
prosperous is a town in which it is
not worth while to live at All. If a
town is worth anything it is worthy
of our greatest energy, whe ther we
receive an immediate dividend in
dollars and cents or wh.!ther wn
merely take our share of the common
benefits accorded our home town
